A parade of thousands in traditional costumes carries exquisite portable shrines from Osaka Temmangu shrine to Tenjin Bridge. There they board more than 100 ornamented boats and barges to proceed from the Dojima River to the Okawa River. Nightfall brings a spectacular fireworks display. This enormous and dramatic festival dates back to the 10th century and is one of the largest events of its kind in the country.
